Hello There, I had found this script of the web, though I don't remember where now, anyway here's what I use.
This script will write a backup file named with the date and a prefix of backup in your backups folder. I hope this helps. If needed I also have a restore from backup script.
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<? define('SERVER', 'localhost'); //Your server host define('USRNAME', 'root'); //Your DB user name define('PASS', 'Your Pass'); //Your db Password define('DBNAME', 'db_name'); //You db name $ccyymmdd = date("Ymd"); $file = fopen("backups/backup".$ccyymmdd.".sql","w"); $line_count = create_backup_sql($file); fclose($file); $message = "Backup Complete<br />lines written: ".$line_count; function create_backup_sql($file) { $line_count = 0; $db_connection = db_connect(); mysql_select_db (db_name()) or exit(); $tables = mysql_list_tables(db_name()); $sql_string = NULL; while ($table = mysql_fetch_array($tables)) { $table_name = $table[0]; $sql_string = "TRUNCATE TABLE $table_name"; $table_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `$table_name`"); $num_fields = mysql_num_fields($table_query); while ($fetch_row = mysql_fetch_array($table_query)) { $sql_string .= "INSERT INTO $table_name VALUES("; $first = TRUE; for ($field_count=1;$field_count<=$num_fields;$field_count++){ if (TRUE == $first) { $sql_string .= "'".mysql_real_escape_string($fetch_row[($field_count - 1)])."'"; $first = FALSE; } else { $sql_string .= ", '".mysql_real_escape_string($fetch_row[($field_count - 1)])."'"; } } $sql_string .= ");"; if ($sql_string != ""){ $line_count = write_backup_sql($file,$sql_string,$line_count); } $sql_string = NULL; } } return $line_count; } function write_backup_sql($file, $string_in, $line_count) { fwrite($file, $string_in); return ++$line_count; } function db_name() { return (DBNAME); } function db_connect() { $db_connection = mysql_connect(SERVER, USRNAME, PASS); return $db_connection; } ?>
This script will write a backup file named with the date and a prefix of backup in your backups folder. I hope this helps. If needed I also have a restore from backup script.
There are alot of people smarter than me, BUT at least I try to be of some help. Of coarse I'm not perfect, I need help too.
